I’m Lin Yue. In March, 2022, COVID-19 started suddenly in my city. It was so serious that the whole city was locked down. At the very beginning of the lockdown （行动限制）, some old people, especially those living alone, had difficulty getting vegetables.

One day, in the community WeChat group, an old man said that he was short of vegetables so I had an idea of setting up a food bank in the community. And my neighbors were also ready to offer help.

To keep social distancing （社交距离）, I used a large box as the food bank, and put it in the public area. Neighbors could give away and get some food there. ①大箱子很快被蔬菜和大米装满了.

One evening, I saw a bag of vegetables with a note saying “These are fresh vegetables. Please take them home if you need. ”

In the WeChat group, an old lady who got the vegetables said, “1 was so moved by the good-will （善意）, but I only took three tomatoes, because I wanted to leave the rest for those people really in need. ”

There were many similar stories in my city during the lockdown. ② Although COVID-19 keeps us apart, we can get through the hard times as long as we pull together.

A noisy neighbor can make life challenging, especially if noise goes well into night, or happens during early morning hours. This situation needs to be solved properly, which requires your ability to keep calm.

You should first try to tell your noisy neighbors about the noise. This conversation should be polite, even friendly. You’d better explain the problem in an honest way, and ask the neighbor to turn down the music, or not to hold parties until 3 a.m. You can also add that you realize they hear your noise too, and you are willing to try to stop anything in your behavior that is creating extra noise.

You should know that not all neighbors are going to follow your requirement, and some may act in a bad manner. If the noisy neighbors don’t change their behavior, the next step should be to write the neighbors a letter. The letter should show your grievances (不满) and the dates when the noise was quite terrible. For example, if your neighbor has loud gatherings every Friday night that last into the early morning then write down those dates.

If it doesn’t work, you should report it to local authorities (权力部门), or even the police department, when it is really necessary. Often, however, the problem is solved when the noisy neighbor knows you are going to call the police.

You cannot always require noisy neighbors to be quiet. It is wise not to solve it in an angry or retaliatory (报复性的) fashion. If you have completed the steps and letter,   don’t start hitting walls or floors around in your home or turning up the music to make your neighbors angry. Just have patience and try to talk with your neighbors.
